Brake pads

Brake pads are one of the most important components in your car’s braking system. Working together with the brake discs, pads provide the friction needed to slow and stop your vehicle safely. At A-Z Motor Factors Halifax, we supply front and rear brake pads for all makes and models, including OE-quality, ceramic, low-dust and performance options. Use our registration lookup to find the correct fitment instantly.

Brake pads sit inside the brake caliper and press against the brake disc when you apply the brake pedal. This friction converts the vehicle’s motion into heat, allowing the car to stop smoothly and safely. Because brake pads wear down gradually, they must be replaced regularly to maintain braking performance.

Different vehicles use different pad types, including:

• Standard OE replacement pads

• Ceramic pads for low dust and quiet braking

• Semi-metallic pads for improved performance

• Performance pads for sports driving

• E-coated pads for corrosion resistance

We stock pads to suit all budgets and driving styles.

Replace your pads if you notice:

• Squealing or grinding noise when braking

• Vibration through the pedal or steering

• Reduced braking power

• Uneven or excessive pad wear

• Brake warning light on the dashboard

• MOT advisory for worn pads

Brake pads must always be replaced in axle pairs (both front or both rear).
For best results, replace pads together with new discs.

• Front brake pads usually handle most of the braking force and wear faster

• Rear pads are often smaller and support stability and handbrake systems

Many vehicles use different friction materials front and rear — always match the correct type.

Reliable and long-lasting, ideal for everyday road use.

The correct pad depends on:

• Vehicle make, model and year

• Engine size & brake system type

• Front or rear axle position

• Driving style (normal, towing, performance)

• Disc type (solid, vented, drilled, grooved)
